The Spoon Tip was specially designed by feeding therapist Debbie Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP to support easy feeding and food removal. The size and shape of the spoon bowl are "just right" - big enough to hold an appropriate amount of food, but small enough to prevent the spoon from being overloaded with too much food.

When used with the Z-Vibe handle, the Spoon Tips can help "wake up" the mouth, increase awareness, and provide stimulation to the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. A wonderful tool for any sensory mealtime treatment plan, these Spoon Tips have helped many therapists and parents get tube-fed children on their first solid foods.

The ARK Z-Vibe is a vibratory oral motor tool for oral motor exercises and sensory stimulation.

Use it to provide a varied sensory experience and/or to provide targeted tactile cues within the oral cavity.

For individuals with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD), who display behaviours such as self-biting/chewing, vibration it is a very helpful tool for calming and organising.

The Z-Vibe's smooth vibration provides gentle sensory feedback to the lips, gums, tongue, jaw, and inside the cheek area.

It can also be used outside the mouth on the cheeks, neck, and arms for additional feedback.

Available in Blue, Purple & Red, each handle comes with a blue probe tip but the tips are interchangeable.

The Z-Vibe's sleek, innovative design features a lightweight, plastic handpiece with gentle bumps around its circumference for a non-slip grip.

Our Story

When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born

Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.

British Born Solutions

Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution.

We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. We pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will do our utmost to find you a solution that works.
